“Everything that’s been done to us we carry forever. Most of us do our damnedest to hold on to the good and forget the rest. But somewhere in the vault of our hearts, in a place our brains can’t or won’t touch, the worst is stored, and the only sure key to it is in our dreams.” -William Kent Krueger, This Tender Land

I have a confession: I disliked Hick Finn when I read it in High School and I hated having to read it a second time in College. That being said, I think it's about time I give this classic a re-read.

This modern masterpiece of orphans floating down a river towards something better is such a vague way of talking about such a phenomenal novel. William Kent Kruger's ThIs Tender Land is a novel filled with vivid imagery depicting The Great Depression era, memorable characters who grow and change throughout the novel, and an epic storyline that ties the two together.

If you are looking for an American historical fiction novel that stands the test of time, this one is it.

I saw a video yesterday that a mom took of her 10-year-old just playing with her stuffed animals and using her imagination. She talked about how her daughter loved to color, ride her bike, and do "kid things".

And it broke me.

Because this society that we have cultivated is in a hurry to grow our kids up. They are in a hurry for them to be miniature versions of adults and in doing so are robbing them of this crucial time in their lives. It is a time for play and exploration and being outdoors in nature and in spending rainy days making pillow forts or playing board games or putting on a puppet show.

My middle schooler does not have a phone. What does she need it for? She is welcome to use my phone to invite a friend over or to talk.

My middle schooler does not have her own tablet or iPad. What does she need it for? She can use mine during a planned time to play her games--mostly educational.

These boundaries are allowing her to want to use her imagination and play more. She isn't drawn to the technology as much, and she shouldn't feel the need to have devices to fit in.

If I'm being honest, I wish we would go backwards with tech. I wish we didn't rely on our devices so much. I wish our children saw us doing anything else but sit on our phones zoned out like zombies. It isn't fair to them--life is for living, not for checking out.

And trust me--you'll miss these years that you wasted with your face glued to a screen.

Take the time to give your children the childhood they deserve. It is so fleeting--I blinked, and my oldest turns 18 this year. And I keep thinking--I could have done more with you/for you/to allow you to grow up slower.

Go on a walk.
Play ball in the yard.
Run through sprinklers and jump in puddles.

Save the mocktails, beauty routines, social media exposure, and tech overload for a time when their brains can properly understand them and make their own decisions on how they want them to impact their lives

Because right now, they just need to delight in a simpler life.
Right now they need to be children.

As we drive home from visiting with my daughter I’m reflecting on how exciting it is to step into a new chapter. How nerve wrenching and butterfly-filled these moments must be for prospective students. They get to embark on a new journey and it is one of their choosing. How absolutely cool is that!?

I remember when I started The Lit Bulb, I thought of it as my new journey. One that would inevitably be both exciting and nerve-inducing. And it has been. It’s had its ups and it’s downs—I’ve had moments I’ve patted myself on the back and moments I’ve wanted to pull my hair out.

All this to say, it’s been a slow start this year for TLB—I’ve taken time for myself and I’ve made some new connections but I’m hoping that grows even more. I’ve learned so much over the past few months about myself and how I want to work moving forward.

To past clients, future clients, and anyone still reading: I am looking forward to serving you with intellect, passion, and perseverance in crafting the content and strategy and heart you need in your business 💕 here is to exciting new chapters.
